What About Anesthesia When I Get My Mommy Makeover?

Despite the excitement of getting a makeover, and anticipating the pending improvements, anxiety about the procedure itself can be more distressing than anything. And oftentimes the idea of being put under anesthesia can increase the anxiety, as many people feel very vulnerable in that situation.

Anesthesia is safer than ever, and administered by a certified anesthesiologist to avoid discomfort during a procedure. You and your plastic surgeon can customize your Mommy Makeover to provide you with great results, based on the level of comfort you have about “going under” or not. Here are your options:

General Anesthesia will cause you to be completely unconscious, unable to feel any discomfort or remember anything during your surgery. The medication is administered intravenously or by using an inhalation mask. Once you are unconscious, your vitals are consistently monitored. In general, this is for people who want to have no memory of what happened to them. Recovery time is much longer right after surgery, requiring time to awaken and continued monitoring of vitals, until all indicates that you are stable and able to leave.

Since Mommy Makeovers are overall surgeries, most all plastic surgeons will utilize general anesthesia. But if you are very apprehensive about being completely under anesthesia, and you are willing to compromise some on your final results, you can have some less invasive procedures done under IV sedation and local anesthesia. With the IV sedation, you will be awake, but you will not feel or remember discomfort. And local anesthesia will numb the area where the procedure is being done. The anesthesiologist will monitor your vitals from start to finish.

But if you are completely opposed to anesthesia or sedation of any type, there still remain procedures which can improve your appearance after having a baby, providing you with some overall post-baby improvements.

Testimonials

Thank you so much for everything! I always hated the way my breasts looked and I could have never imagined that this kind of transformation was possible. I have had such an incredible experience with everyone I have interacted with at your surgery center and I am just blown away with what you have done […]

I had a tummy tuck, breast lift, and breast augmentation a week ago and I cannot say enough about the way I was treated!!! Dr. Fiorello and his staff are absolutely wonderful. They are warm, caring, upfront, honest, and best of all, easily accessible should one have any questions or concerns. I would recommend him […]

I felt like a part of me was missing… I was getting back something that was lost. I think that any woman that does lose her breast volume should definitely do [a breast augmentation]. Some of the other surgeons tried to sell me on other services, or things that I didn’t feel that I wanted. […]

When you feel better about yourself and you look good, it’s contagious… The Mommy Makeover… I would definitely recommend this to any woman who is finished having her babies and is not getting the results they want to get by exercise alone. This is definitely the way to go. I was nervous to go under […]
